Crown Prince feted by RBAF
His Royal Highness Prince General Haji Al-Muhtadee Billah, The Crown Prince, Senior Minister at the Prime Minister's Office and General Royal Brunei Armed Forces (RBAF), and Her Royal Highness Paduka Seri Pengiran Anak Isteri Pengiran Anak Sarah consented to attended a high tea reception hosted by officers of the Royal Brunei Armed Forces in conjunction with His Royal Highness' 32nd birthday yesterday afternoon. http://www.brunei-online.com/weekend/news/feb18h11.htm
Pictures from Infofoto and Brunei online.

That was what I was also thinking when I saw the picture. We do not really know about the true event unless it will be confirmed by the right people.

She's definitely not pregnant. Fact is, she has always had a tummy, and when it shows through, people immediately speculate she may be pregnant. Sarah's mother will not allow her to have children until her studies are completed, so I have heard.

Her family retains that much influence over Sarah and her husband? How often does she see her family?

I think Sarah's mother only allowed Sarah to marry the prince with certain conditions. One is that she must complete her academic studies first. Sarah spends lots of time with her family when she's "off-duty". I see Sarah out and about shopping with her mother very often. It's as if her marriage is only "part time" , the rest of the time she's with her mother.

I think that makes perfect sense. Sarah's mom is very smart to look after her daughter's interest this way. The princess was, after all, only 17 when she married and while im sure the Crown Prince and the royal family are supportive of her, she's still very young and needs guidance. Remember all the problems Princess Diana had adjusting to royal life with no one to help her.
I think Sarah is fortunate to have support from her own family and her husband's. She should definately finish her studies and take some time before having any kids.
